In the ramp-up to Perry, the Phoenix club has a lot of 2700s, many of them “unofficial” which means they are not registered or authorized through the NRA.

It’s “traditional Bullseye 900” this coming week (Tuesday, June 1, 2010) at Nighthawks in Phoenix Arizona. Shoot any handgun (no magnums, please – range rules) and one- or two-handed as you prefer. Bring 100 rounds, more if you come early and want to practice before the match that begins at 6:30PM.
